'''Death From Above''' (not to be confused of the tactic of the [[DFA|same name]]) was a show that streamed weekly on the HYPERRPG Twitch channel.
'''Death From Above''' (often abbreviated '''DFA''') was the title of a show that [[Harebrained Schemes]] (HBS) streamed weekly on the HYPERRPG Twitch channel between the [[2015 BattleTech Video Game Crowdfunding Campaign|successful 2015 crowdfunding campaign]] for their [[BattleTech (Video Game)|BattleTech video game]] and the game's actual release in 2018.
 
  
 
The show followed the adventures of a unit called [[Mason's Marauders]], roleplayed by various members of the [[Harebrained Schemes]] staff.

==Canonicity==
 
The computer game license obtained by HBS is distinct from the mainline "classic" [[BattleTech]] license, and products released under this license do not fall under the current definition of [[canon]]. As such, HBS is not in a position to create canonical content for the BattleTech universe in the first place (unless and until the current license holder decides to adopt some of their content as canonical, as was done with the ''[[House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition]]'' sourcebook but not with the Death From Above show).
 
  
Beyond that, it is even doubtful if the action as roleplayed out over the course of the show was ever intended to be a proper publication in the sense of a "real" in-universe storyline. As such, the show is not canon and has an outside claim to being [[apocryphal]] at best.
 
  
As an in-joke, Mason's Marauders under Lord Commander Garrilac featured in a [[BattleTech (Video Game)/Flashpoints|tongue-on-cheek Flashpoint mission called "Bourbon & BattleMechs"]] in the [[BattleTech: Flashpoint|first expansion]] for the game.
